In this paper we ublish a COMMUNE
cation and clipping at the instance OF a
correspondent whose signature is 'Sus-
an Jane" We can scarcely understand
the drift of his comments upon the let
ter of congratulation by President
Cleveland to Queen Victoria-a formal
state paper, written and sent in ODE
dience to conventional law. How the
writing of that letter makes the Presi-
dent an Anarchist, we confess, is as far
beyond our comprehension as is the
deduction that the X. of L. have any
thing more to concern with 1t than
other people. We find nothing repre-
hensible in the letter of congratulation,
and the prayer contained in the final
paragraph ought to meet with the
hearty appreciation of all men. Did
"Susan Jane" want him to pray for
dynamite, insurrection, and destruction
to England and the English people?
We hope not; for while every true
land, and his sympathies are natural
~ with the people as against kingly
usurpation, he does not believe that the
ends of those who are struggling for
liberty will be promoted by violent and
unlawful methods. One word more in
regard to the letter of congratulatton,
or, rather. the two or three lines which

Washington and Napoleon.

Never, perhaps, has any other GEN.
fury than the eighteenth produced two
such characters as Washington and
Napoleon. In military achievements
the superiority must be allowed to Ma
poleon, whose field of operation was
much greater than thatof Washington.
But in comforting lasting benefits upon
his country, the world does not hest
tate to pronounce Washington the SUI
perior.
Napoleon was the greater general
Washington the greater man. The
former possessed more ambition; the
latter more determination. When Ma.
poleon made his appearance among the
French people, he was a friendless
youth, possessing nothing but his
sword and cloak. But ere long, by his
transcendent military genius, he gain
ed the confidence of the French people
and was proclaimed emperor Of France
The love of conquest burned strongly
in his bosom. He waged war, often
WlGuOut CduSc, ak
ing nations, until the imperial eagle Of
France had majestically waved from
the cloud-cleft spires of almost every
capital of the old world. How differ.
ent from this was Washington, who
glorified in peace, and wept at the sight
of war.
At an early age he espoused the
cause of his countrymen, who were
endeavoring to free themselves from
the tyrannical laws of their moth.
er country. For his superior wisdom
and nobility of character, he was chos'
en- leader of the American army. Aft.
er seven years of bloody war, trials
hitherto unknown, he succeeded in
oonquering the British, and forced
them to withdraw their army from
America.
But the great crisis, which thorough.
| ly proved the nobleness of his character
was yet to come. A Republican form
of government was then an experiment
The people becoming disconnected
sought to make Washington king.
Instead of accepting the proposition.
he earnestly, with tears in his eyes and
parental love beaming from his ooun-
tenance, solicited them, in the name OF
HIM who rules all nations, not to sac
rifice the glorious principles of liberty,
for which they had paid so dearly.
The consequence was-by the noble
exertions of that hero-peace and quiet
ude were restored, and the wheels OF
the great republic of America were put
in motion.
Oh, America! had thy leader been
Napoleon, instead of Washington, what
would be thy story to-day? Instead OF
peace, prosperity and liberty it would
be war and adversely, usurpation and
| slavery.
But why do say this? For the SIM
pie reason that Napoleon had even a
better opportunity for establishing a
Republican form of government than
did Washington. But the welfare Of
his people was not the object of Napo-
leon. He fought not for the love of lib
erty.
Napoleon was blazing meteor that
went whirling by, leaving only small
streak behind that will soon vanish
and be heard of no more. Washing.
ton was a brilliant sun, whose light
will continue to shine abroad through
the universe of nations thousands of
years to come. ]. T. PATTERSON.

Gen. Tuttle has been shooting off
at the mouth +" again. He made a
speech on the 4th of July, 1887, at Bed
ford, Taylor County, Iowa. When he
commenced speaking he said he could
not make Fourth of July speech--he
didn't know how. He said "that the
Democratic Union soldiers were rebels
when they went into the army, were
rebels while there, were rebels when
they came out, and are rebels yet, and
] don't see what In the name of God
they ever went there for" THESE are
his very Words He further said the
politics of this country had been fought
out with the bayonet once, and could
be again; that the Southern states
were now developing their coal and
iron mines and foundries so as to be in
shape to again rebel and have means
to manufacture munitions of war and
cannon, and not be again caught in a
place where they would be unable to
supply them, and much more to the
same effect. He also said, "Gen. Sher-
man did now and always would regret
the part he took in inviting the presi-
dent to be present at st. LOUIS" at the
G. A. r. encampment.

The Poplar Bluff Citizen is booming
''lost mine''-rather u tough job in
hot weather. one would think. The
basis for the boom Is cracked Indian
succotash pot, made of clay, buried in
ashes and charred wood. A long time
ago party of sborigines, seeking high
ground, found dry spot in Butler
county, got out of their canoes, and
camped there for the night. The old
chief of the squad got on drunk, kick
ed over the supper, and cayed in the
head of his favorite squaw with the
suceotash pot. While the squsw was
not seriously injured, the pot was fear
fully fractured, and when the Indians
moved on next day, it was left behind.
This Is the verified tradition of the
Cracked Pot, but if Bro. Hoag can find
lost gold mine by reason of it, he has
our best wishes. May heaven prosper
him in his antiquarian researches!

GOOD DISlNFECTANTS.
How Many livestock Diseases and An
ments May he Prevented.

Cheaper than cure, especially with
livestock, is prevention. While with
many contagious diseases, it is, of
course, often impossible to keep ami
mails from being attacked, yet by using
good care valuable aid may be given
in keeping the stock intact. If kept in
a good, thrifty condition, and with
reference to good health, there is very
much less danger of animals being at
tackled, and if attacked, they are in a
much better condition to withstand the
inroads of disease.
Filth breeds disease, and is Indirect
ly the principal cause of the larger
proportion of diseases in our livestock.
And when stock are kept reasonably
clean, and are provided with warm,
clean, dry quarters, and are fed upon
clean food, ordinarily such stock will
be healthy. In order to do this to the
best advantage, it will be necessary to
thoroughly disinfcct the poultry house,
pig pens, cow and horse stables, and
the sheep sheds. All need thorough
cleaning, and when difficulty arises.
disinfcction. Especially should thor
ough work in this direction be given in
the spring. In a great majority of in
stances the stock have been more or
less confined, and as n natural consc-
quence these places have become more
or less foul, and in such case it will
almost certainly cause disease or breed
parasites, in some respects fully as
bad as disease. Where the pens are
close enough TO admit of thorough
work, burning roll sulphur is a good
disinfectant; add "A little old grease, so
that il will burn well. Crude carbolic
acid is another good, cheap material
that can be used to good advantage.
As it is a poison if taken internally,
some care must be taken in using.
The places should be thoroughly cleaned
out and then the carbolic acid.
diluted with water, be applied freely.
A good brush will, for most purposes,
be the best, rs it will reach the cracks
to the best advantage. Lime applied
as whltewash is very valuable to pu-
rify, and also to destroy germs and
parasites. Carbolic acid can be added
to the lime whitewash rfter il is made.
and 1t will be all the more valuable.
Any of these are cheap. and should be
